Thank you so much! I don't do an exact measurement but I usually do about 2/3 floetrol to 1/3 acrylic paint...plus usually a little splash of water at the end. The mixture changes depending on the brand of paint, and craft paints vs. heavy body acrylic. I have some videos where I show you how I mix my paint if you are interested. Here is one of those: ruclips.net/video/e2jDUFZjbCI/видео.html (My "How To Paint A Geode" video)
It’s a beautiful work. So calming. I don’t see the gold, but a tasteful gold would be the only thing I would wish for. Buts it’s gorgeous the way it is.
Thank you so much, Sheila! It's hard to tell that it's gold until you get up close. It's that sort of brown/khaki color :) I think when I add a varnish or enamel it will bring it out more. Thank you for watching!
Hi! I have a tutorial on how I paint pour geodes here: ruclips.net/video/e2jDUFZjbCI/видео.html To avoid cells, you will want to mix your paint and then let it sit for awhile before using (that lets the air bubbles work their way out). Also I recommend pouring carefully and closer to the canvas to avoid it splashing down and forcing more air into the paint (making more cells). There is always a chance for cells when using metallic colors in pours, and some pouring mediums create more than others. It's a little trial and error :)
Absolutely my favorite geode pour painting on RUclips (and I've watched far more than I care to admit). You didn't over work it and I love that you left negative space. Perfection! Hoping I can successfully duplicate it. 🤞
Thank you SO much Alisa! I am going to be trying another one coming up and I hope I can duplicate it too, haha! I have done a few little ones too and the combo of puddle pour and tree ring pour layers seem to work pretty well! Let me know how it goes when you try it :D Wishing you tons of luck and fun with it!
Turned out great!! Was a bit unsure abt the orange and white mix.. looked peachy in the cup but not so much on canvas... dont like peach! lol... have a great afternoon!
Thank you so much! I'm so happy you love it! I haven't ventured into doing resin on my pieces, to be honest it scares me a little! But I love the shine. I really like Liquitex gloss or matte varnish, and sometimes use Rustoleum Crystal Clear Enamel spray (which I think I might have used on this one once it was dry). I have some photos on my Instagram from when it was dry. This first one was I believe before it was sealed: instagram.com/p/BscAJF1DDGf/?igshid=17nb7qpd0v070 and this second one shows it hanging at an artist's marketplace (swipe to see it a little closer): instagram.com/p/Buet40Uh89z/?igshid=c3h4ivp0bx1m
Thank you so much! I often use Artist's Loft Flow Acrylic White but have heard their newer batches aren't the same as they used to be. I have a backstock of the previous recipe so I haven't tried the new kind yet. I also like Liquitex Basics Titanium White ( amzn.to/3VIAyjo ) though that can be pricey. I haven't used it a ton, but if you are looking for a craft white, I love DecoArt Americana Multi-Surface Satin (bottle looks like this, but in their white: amzn.to/3P8bCPz ). I have heard recommendations to NOT use Apple Barrel white, it sounds like people have trouble with it cracking as it dries. (As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases using my links)
Yes! I have used wall paint quite a few times. I mix it with Flood Floetrol and get it to the consistency I mix my other paints to. Just be sure it's not a weird wall paint like an oil based or something, I personally don't know if that would work or not.
BRAVO! I don’t think you should add any kind of additional “pizzaz” to your geode pours. I’m a crystal healer, check out some Celestine geodes, and citrine as well also any Jasper!!! (Ocean jasper is my fave). This looks like REAL geodes. Also, your color choices are fantastic- seems like you’re familiar with color theory which is important in fluid art I have found. Defined POV, keep it up!!!!
Gorgeous. Can you tell me how much floetrol you added?

Perfectly executed

This is so effective . Fantastic
Thank you! I appreciate it :)

Beautiful 🤩. I love this. Well done. 🤗
Thank you Navilee!
Great realistic pour!
Thank you!!
Really fabulous. can you make a video on the consistency. I can never get the right one. either too thin or too thick . Thanks ❤️
Yes, I actually have a video on how I make the geodes! Here it is: ruclips.net/video/e2jDUFZjbCI/видео.html Thank you for watching :D
Completamente apaixonada pelos seus vasos. Preciso aprender urgente, rsrsr. Muito lindos.
Obrigada! A parte divertida disso é brincar com a pintura e ser criativo. Não precisa ser perfeito, você só precisa começar!
That is beautiful!!!
Thank you!!
Beautiful pour, definitely add some glitter stripes, just a little. Beautiful
Good idea! I recently found some beautiful chunky glitter that I want to use soon ;)
Hi Laura! I just scheduled another geode video for 2PM EST this Friday and I did some glitter stripes this time!!
Wow great work!!! Looks wonderful! I like the red Lake Superior agates, that would look cool on a black canvas I think
Thank you so much! And YES that is on my list because I love those too!
BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you Julia!
Ok wait that was dope! I got scared at first lol
Thank you!
Can you tell us more about you paint consistency and how you avoided cells?

Turned out great!! Was a bit unsure abt the orange and white mix.. looked peachy in the cup but not so much on canvas... dont like peach! lol... have a great afternoon!
Thank you Mark! I was unsure about that mix too, it's definitely not my go-to color choice! I appreciate you watching :D
Beautiful love ❤️
Thank you!
Beautiful
Thank you Angie!
I have watched this over and over again and I love it so much. What did the dried painting look like? Do you resin on top or varnish? Thanks

@@ArtbyBrooke are you able to use wall paint if it’s mixed with something?
Yes! I have used wall paint quite a few times. I mix it with Flood Floetrol and get it to the consistency I mix my other paints to. Just be sure it's not a weird wall paint like an oil based or something, I personally don't know if that would work or not.
@@ArtbyBrooke ok thank you

Thank you so much for your kind words! I will definitely check them out!
Is that white paint that you spread across the canvas in the first step?
Yep! White paint mixed with floetrol and a little bit of water :)
